Fireworks Sales And Use Outlawed In The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, TX — Independence Day happens next week and officials in The Woodlands Township are reminding residents that fireworks are not allowed. The Township’s convenant rules prohibit the sale and the use of fireworks and sparklers in The Woodlands.

The official kick off of fireworks sales began in the Houston area, where fireworks are allowed outside of Houston and other cities.

Officials in Harris County cautioned residents to use extreme care, to avoid injury to themselves and their loved ones.

However, in The Woodlands anyone who is caught with fireworks can expect a knock on their door.

Officials said members of The Woodlands Fire Department will respond to fireworks complaints when they are not dispatched on an emergency call.
